Hrm.. makes me feel a bit more sane, but does confuse the matter a bit
more - it seems to be working now and I thought perhaps it was simply
b/c my account was holding funkiness of uw-imap behind..

Yes, All GNOME apps use ORBIT - this isn't really the issue though, as I
could remove the account and have it be gone. I will try this, though.
